I claim: 
     
       1. A sectional folding bed, comprising: a first longitudinal member including a first protrusion and a second protrusion at its respective ends;   a second longitudinal member including a first protrusion and a second protrusion at its respective ends;   a sheet secured between said first and second longitudinal members, said sheet including a first loop and a second loop;   a first cross member placeable through said first loop, said first cross member including first and second holes that receive a respective one of said first protrusions of said first and second longitudinal members;   a second cross member placeable through said second loop, said second cross member including a hole for receiving said second protrusion of said first longitudinal member and a locking member for receiving said second protrusion of said second longitudinal member, said locking member including a cavity having a ramp and a depression wherein said ramp facilitates the placement of said second protrusion of said second longitudinal member into said depression.   
     
     
       2. The sectional folding bed according to claim 1 wherein said locking member fits inside said second cross member and resides within a receiving space of said second cross member in a position with said cavity of said locking member facing exterior to said second member. 
     
     
       3. The sectional folding bed according to claim 2 wherein said locking member includes a slot for receiving a wedge that secures said locking member within said second cross member.
